Saudi Arabia strongly condemned on Monday the terrorist attack that targeted Kabul University, killing at least dozens of people including students. The Health Ministry stressed the Kingdom’s rejection of such heinous acts that target innocent lives and undermine security and stability. Riyadh stands by Afghanistan in confronting such crimes, it added. Gunmen barged into Kabul University in the morning, killing students in their classrooms and firing on others as they fled, officials and witnesses said, in what was the second attack on an educational institution in the capital in just over a week. The three attackers killed at least 22 people, including students, and wounded 22 others before Afghan security forces shot the gunmen dead, the health ministry said.
